Sheriff: deputies find meth on Gerber man while arresting him on outstanding warrants

Tehama County sheriff's deputies said they found drugs on a 37-year-old Gerber man while serving three felony warrants Monday for his arrest.

Deputies just after 8 p.m. went to a house on the 100 block of Ventura Avenue in Gerber to arrest Antone Durrer on warrants for failing to appear in court, being a felon in possession of guns and carrying a dirk or dagger.

They found Durrer in a nearby alleyway and arrested him for the warrants. Deputies said they also found just less than a gram of methamphetamine in a plastic bag tied to Durrer's wrist.

He was booked into Tehama County on the warrants and suspicion of possessing drugs. Durrer is being held today in lieu of $315,000 bail.
